Reniera informis var. taurica Czerniavsky, 1880

( Fig. 4J )

Reniera informis var. taurica Czerniavsky, 1880: 118 , pl. I(V) fig. 5a.

The variety was described by Czerniavsky from Sinus Hursuficus (Bay of Hursuf, Crimea), approximate coordinates 44.54°N 34.28°E, depth 10–15 m (no type material identified). This junior secondary homonym of Protoschmidtia simplex f. taurica Czerniavsky, 1880 is proposed above to be replaced by the combination Haliclona informis subsp. voldomaroi nom.nov., possibly valid as a Black Sea subspecies of the ill-known Haliclona informis Schmidt, 1868 .
